[ecrea] new volumes published in the Palgrave/IAMCR series

two new inspiring edited volumes have just come out in the 
Palgrave/IAMCR series *Global Transformations in Media and Communication 
Research*.

Sergio Sparviero, Corinna Peil and Gabriele Balbi are editors of /Media 
Convergence and Deconvergence./ Media convergence is commonly considered 
to be an overarching process and one of the major implications of the 
digitisation of communication signals – a key issue in the world of 
digital media. This book, however, critically analyses  'convergence' 
and draws attention to the inconsistencies in media convergence 
discourses.  The work explores the perspective of complementary 
divergence and emphasises the interplay of converging and diverging 
movements on selected fields of research.

Francisco Sierra's and Tomaso Gravante's publication focuses on 
/Networks, Movements and Technopolitics in Latin America. /This 
work explores the impact of digital culture on politics, political 
participation and social movements, building on a theoretical framework 
inspired by the critical tradition of participatory communication for 
social change as it was developed in Latin America. The volume presents 
compelling research about contemporary Latin American movements in 
several countries; experiences that are creating other identities and 
social spaces on the margins of the neoliberal system through the use of 
digital technology.
